Obama: The Good Stuff

“Obama says will release visitor names

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - In a shift in policy, President Barack Obama said on Friday his White House will release the names of most visitors to satisfy watchdog groups who demanded to know which lobbyists might be attempting to influence policy.

Obama's White House until now had followed the same practice of past presidents of generally keeping the names of White House visitors secret.

This practice over the years has prompted lawsuits by organizations who wanted to know who was meeting with the president and White House officials to determine whether lobbyists were influencing the development of policy on such issues as healthcare and energy.

"For the first time in history, records of White House visitors will be made available to the public on an ongoing basis," Obama said in a written statement.

He added, "Americans have a right to know whose voices are being heard in the policymaking process."

Under the new policy, each month records of White House visitors from the previous 90 to 120 days will be made available online. Tens of thousands of people visit the White House each month.

The new policy will not include "a small group of appointments that cannot be disclosed because of national security imperatives or their necessarily confidential nature (such as a visit by a possible Supreme Court nominee)," the White House said.

A watchdog group called Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington had filed four lawsuits seeking visitor names.

The White House statement announcing the new policy included a statement from CREW approving of the new position.

"Providing public access to visitor records is an important step in restoring transparency and accountability to our government," said CREW executive director Melanie Sloan.

“Not sure Nigal. This will unfold over time. Like I said, good for them. It's about time we got some transparancy outta this crew....”

“Holy fukcing shyt! Obama blocking out a spot light? Commie bassturd!”

“And the rat would be? - nigal

That it took four lawsuits to force him to start honoring his campaign promise of "transparency"?”

“Moonbats don't want to know that, Mutt.”

“He dresses nice and he serves beer to feuding citizens at the Whitehouse. Those are both good. How can you not support a president who serves beer?”

“"I mean, you got the first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,"
"I mean, that's a storybook, man."”

“What do you mean?”

“Ask Joe Biden.”

“That it took four lawsuits to force him to start honoring his campaign promise of "transparency"?�
Mutt



Told ya.....”

“But they did it. Doesn't matter how. they could have just as easily claimed executive privilege.”

“Hey nigal!
What Union is representing you now?
Bubba bear would be proud of you.”

“No more excuses Nigal. Take a stand mang. Hold them accountable. No matter what side they are on or what side you're on. I knew this was out of character for these looters.”

“Exactly strat. This is a good thing. We are so flooded by what's wrong with the office of president I thought it may be nice to have some good news.”

“This story will turn into a hornets nest in a firestorm...mark my words”

“But they did it. Doesn't matter how. - Nigal

Yeah, actually for someone who promised a presidency supposedly based on "principle", it does. I don't see why you're so excited over Obama spinning his crookedness into something positive.”

“We'll find out once and for all id that damded SpongeBob has been there.”

“I bet Plankton's been lurking around there somewhere too....”

“OH YES...PRAISE THE CHOSEN ONE!!!

The political radicalization of Van Jones, President Obama's "green jobs" adviser, dates back to 1992, when he and hundreds of others took their anger to the streets of San Francisco in the infamous Rodney King protests.

Jones, a Yale Law School student who was working in the Bay Area as an intern, was part of a mob that stormed the city following the acquittal in Los Angeles of four white police officers who had been charged with beating King, who is black, after a car chase.

In an essay he wrote soon after the rioting and republished in The Huffington Post in May 2007, Jones said he "just marched around and chanted slogans" as other protesters set trash cans afire, smashed car windows and threw rocks at passing motorists. But he clearly reveled in the protest.

"Our moment had finally come! We were righteous, fired up, weren't takin' no more!" Jones wrote. "We were one thousand strong on Market Street, with the Bay Bridge shut down in rush hour traffic and the grounds around the state building swarming with angry mobs! Our rallying cry was for justice; our demand was that the System be changed!"

Nigal...your comment can adequately be described by the Statement "Major Downtown Apartment fire clears way for Glorius new Tractor factory."”

“You people all need a room at Disney Land-World with no outside communication and just let Biz completely take over this country, they haven't far to go.

Just to think that people still exist that expect elected officials to do what they said to get elected, is earth shaking, but you still think these monkeys have some power.”

“Nigal has drunk the SEIU kool aid.”

“I don't see why you're so excited over Obama spinning his crookedness into something positive.

I'm pointing it out as a win for the People. Not a win for Obama per say.

As I said at the beginning of his term I'm not a big fan of his policies or him for that fact. But at the same time I refuse to discount him wholesale as all evil. I leave that to the retarded right to indulge in. The vast majority are more than capable of taking on Obama's presidency on an issue by issue basis. The fuktards of the extreme right; not so much...”

“Nigal just has a holier-than-thou streak.”

“Nigal must now have Jay (bubba bear) as his union rep.

“I'm pointing it out as a win for the People. Not a win for Obama per say.

Then you should've written a thread title that reflects that, Nigal. The connotation (intentional or not) is that Obama did something good. He didn't. He didn't want to. He was forced to.”

“No Mutt, just a smarter-than-phuktard streak. Not that I am putting you in that category.”

“Nigal still will not answer the question of if he's now represented by a union, LOL.”

“Not putting him in the phuktard category or the smarter-than-phuktard category? There's a big difference.”

“*snicker*”

“In the phuktard category Noncon. He shows better judgment.”

“Why are you scared to answer the question, "phuktard"?”

“LOL. Congratulations Mutt, you're not a phuktard, but you are smarter than one.



(that's such a bad word but it's so much fun toy say, lol!)”

“Ya know Nigal...if all your potential clients take "the pill" route..you might see work getting scarce....”

“Come on XL. The "pill" is only for old people over 55 that no longer pay high taxes.”

“New this fall on CNBC: Jeff Foxworthy's Are You Smarter Than a Phuktard?”

“High praise indeed!

Stovie, i seem to recall that Nigal often berated that lardass visor wearing pro-union guy who used to post here (forgot his name). What makes you think he's pro union?”

“He used to, is the key. Now there's little difference between them, mutt.”

“LOL”

“Ohio is a Forced-Unionism State.”

“What makes you think he's pro union?

Just for the record, I hate unions as well as the shills like Buddha Bear who work for them.”

“�Ohio is a Forced-Unionism State.�

Nigal now 'works' in a hospital as some kind of 'helper'.

Nigal is now 'forced' to pay union dues.

Please Notice. Nigal has been very carefull to NOT state if he is a member of a union or not, just that he 'hates' unions..”

“Didn't t*ltypoo's messiah claim this evil coal use wasn't going to happen EVER again if he was elected?

How's that A/C working, t*ltypoo?”
